BOWLING GREEN — For Bowling Green State University hockey, this has been a January thaw of the wrong kind.
The Falcons are in the midst of a goal drought, having scored just eight goals in their past six games. The Falcons are 4-4 since New Year’s Day, and have slipped to No. 16 in the PairWise rankings, outside of the range to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.
Bowling Green did not score a five-on-five goal in a two-game split against Ferris State over the weekend, including a flummoxing defeat Saturday in which the Falcons created 31 scoring chances — and were shut out 3-0 at home.
